ArcBest’s revenue was $648.1 million compared to revenue of $664.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of 2.5 percent. Net income was $5.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share compared to fourth quarter 2014 net income of $14.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. As shown in the attached reconciliation tables, both of these periods were impacted by favorable effective tax rates and adjustments for certain other items. On an adjusted basis, ArcBest’s fourth quarter 2015 net income was $5.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share compared to fourth quarter 2014 net income of $11.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.

Freight Transportation (ABF Freight)

Results of Operations

Fourth Quarter 2015

Revenue of $461.5 million compared to $485.9 million in fourth quarter 2014, a decrease of 5.0 percent. ABF Freight’s fourth quarter 2015 revenue was impacted by lower fuel surcharges.

Tonnage per day decrease of 4.9 percent versus fourth quarter 2014.

Total billed revenue per hundredweight decreased 1.1 percent compared to the prior year which included the impact of lower fuel surcharges in 2015. Excluding fuel surcharge, the percentage increase on ABF Freight’s traditional LTL freight was in the mid-single digits.

Operating income of $8.3 million and operating ratio of 98.2 percent excluding adjustments for pension settlement charges compared to similarly adjusted operating income of $15.8 million and an operating ratio of 96.8 percent in fourth quarter 2014.

ABF Freight’s® fourth quarter operating margin was in-line with historical sequential changes from the third quarter. However, operating margins declined versus the prior year due to weak freight levels associated with U.S. manufacturing which in the fourth quarter contracted at levels not seen since 2009. Though the pricing environment has remained positive despite sluggish freight levels, ABF Freight’s revenues were impacted by the significant reduction in diesel fuel prices that lowered fuel surcharge revenue and related costs. During the quarter, ABF Freight’s continued emphasis on customer service led to challenges in aligning costs with the lower business levels.

Asset-Light Logistics

Results of Operations

Fourth Quarter 2015

Revenue of $198.3 million compared to $187.1 million in fourth quarter 2014, an increase of 6 percent, which included lower revenue at Panther.

Asset-light revenue equaled 30 percent of total consolidated revenue, compared to 28 percent during the same period last year.

Strategic initiatives continued to generate solid growth in managed shipments and business levels across all the asset-light businesses during fourth quarter 2015. However, Panther Premium Logistics’® fourth quarter 2015 revenue and operating margin were below the same period of 2014. Though Panther’s shipment levels increased, their average shipment size declined compared to the historically strong 2014 period when spot truckload market capacity was constrained and fuel surcharges were higher. ArcBest’s remaining asset-light logistics companies – ABF Logistics®, FleetNet America® and ABF Moving® – each reported increased fourth quarter revenue resulting from additional new customers and increased business from existing customers.

Full Year 2015 Results

“While weakness in the industrial and manufacturing segments of the economy accelerated toward the end of 2015, we made significant progress throughout the year to improve operations at ABF Freight and also provide the full suite of complementary asset-light logistics services our customers seek from us,” said ArcBest President and CEO Judy R. McReynolds. “By the end of 2015, 23 percent of the ABF Freight account base also transacted business with ABF Logistics or Panther. In 2011, that figure was just 6 percent. The 2015 investments we have made in our enterprise services are allowing us greater penetration of these accounts through the single point of contact they desire from ArcBest as a trusted logistics provider.”

ArcBest’s revenue totaled $2.7 billion, an increase of 2 percent compared to $2.6 billion in 2014. ArcBest’s 2015 operating income increased 9 percent versus the previous year to $75.5 million, or $81.0 million on an adjusted basis. Net income was $44.9 million, or $1.67 per diluted share. Excluding adjustments for certain other items in the attached reconciliation table, ArcBest had 2015 net income of $47.9 million, or $1.78 per diluted share compared to similarly adjusted net income of $45.7 million, or $1.67 per diluted share in 2014.

Total billed revenue per hundredweight increased 0.8 percent compared to the prior year reflecting the impact of lower fuel surcharges in 2015. Excluding fuel surcharge, the increase in total billed revenue per hundredweight was in the mid-single digits.

Operating income excluding adjustments for pension settlement charges increased 17 percent with an operating ratio of 96.6 percent compared to an operating ratio of 97.1 percent in 2014.

Asset-Light Logistics

Results of Operations

Full Year 2015

Revenue of $798.1 million compared to $722.5 million in 2014, an increase of 10 percent, which was significantly impacted by lower revenue at Panther.

2015 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $39.3 million compared to $40.5 million in 2014.

ABF Logistics acquired Smart Lines Transportation Group in January 2015 and Bear Transportation Services in December 2015.

Closing Comments

“As we move through 2016 during a period of economic uncertainty, we will closely monitor our cost structure and work to manage our labor levels consistent with business trends. Our goals for this year include accelerating efforts to provide customers with easier access to all of our services, continued improvements in operations and ongoing investments in technology and enterprise solutions among other initiatives,” said Ms. McReynolds.

Capital Expenditures

In 2015, total net capital expenditures equaled $152 million, including approximately $106 million of revenue equipment for ABF Freight and Panther. Depreciation and amortization costs on property, plant and equipment were $89 million.

For 2016, total net capital expenditures are estimated to range from $170 million to $200 million. This includes revenue equipment purchases of $95 million primarily at ABF Freight. Expected real estate expenditures totaling approximately $45 million are for expansion opportunities, and include construction costs delayed from 2015 for previously disclosed call center facilities and a needed office building, a portion of which replaces leased space. The remainder of expected capital expenditures includes the costs of other facility and handling equipment at ABF Freight and technology investments across the corporation. ArcBest’s depreciation and amortization costs on property, plant and equipment in 2016 are estimated to be in a range of $100 million to $110 million.

The new equipment added during 2015 increased the dependability and consistency of service offered to ArcBest customers. On-going benefits to be fully realized from ArcBest’s investment and enhancement of assets include reduced equipment age, improved fuel economy, lower maintenance costs and reduction of rented equipment. The 2016 capital expenditure plan reflects continuation of the accelerated replacement of revenue equipment and alignment with ArcBest’s long-term strategy to advance operational efficiencies. For instance, during 2016 upgrades will be made to the data information system ABF Freight utilizes to handle shipments throughout its network.

Transaction costs for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are associated with the December 1, 2015 acquisition of Bear Transportation Services, L.P. ("Bear"). Transaction costs for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 are associated with the Bear acquisition and the January 2, 2015 acquisition of Smart Lines Transportation Group, LLC.

Tax credits for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 include the amount of the alternative fuel tax credit related to the first nine months of each year which was recorded in the fourth quarter due to the December reinstatement of the alternative fuel tax credit to January 1. Tax benefits (credits) also include a net decrease in deferred tax asset valuation allowances for the year ended December 31, 2014 and net increases in deferred tax asset valuation allowances for the other periods presented.

Consolidated pension settlement expense totaled $0.7 million (pre-tax) and $1.2 million (pre-tax) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3.2 million (pre-tax) and $6.6 million (pre-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of amortization of intangibles, including customer relationships and software associated with the June 15, 2012 acquisition of Panther.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, FleetNet’s operating income was impacted by a $0.9 million unfavorable third-party casualty claim associated with a bankrupt FleetNet customer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. ArcBest Corporation (“ArcBest”) reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios utilized for internal analysis provide financial statement users meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. Accordingly, using these measures improves comparability in analyzing ArcBest's performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect ArcBest's core operating performance. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could be considered non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, ArcBest’s reported results. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and others to measure financial performance and ability to service debt obligations. However, these financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as defined by GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently and, therefore, ArcBest’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
